Abstract
Summary The paper describes the impact of a training programme for local authority day nursery staff on the use of the Portage system with handicapped children. The results suggest that the staff mastered the techniques and were able to continue using them, though some modification to the system seems indicated for these settings. These findings were discussed in the light of more general issues about the support needed for day nursery staff.This publication has 3 references indexed in Scilit:
